They haven’t been coated yet as I’m not sure what route to take. Gold zinc or silver? Was tempted by black but they won’t look very original then
Here’s a photo of one

joke with Boyden..
sorry!
I know vwdave was looking for complete slider catches and I was asking about the bases..
the slide part is possible to machine the easily.. then a suitable knob. The base is cast with an attached spring..

Okay no worries lol.
I was tempted remove the complete sliding bolt and catch from mine but I don’t really want to that.
I didn’t really want to remove the hinges either

On mine the hinges screwed on, maybe stripped before.
Looked at pictures of vwdave item..rivetted.
The slider was rivetted.. The rivet is a tube rivet with corrugations on the outside for wood!
I attempted to remove and made a real pig of it drilled the alloy rivet body but eventually that spun and then when pulling it out ended up with a real BIG HOLE..
DISASTER..
Was patched and unseen but learnt a lot!

Grey muslin..I believe..
I know that it WAS still available but not easily found a few years ago. I was offerred a full sheet.
Was used from 1963.
Before that Brown muslin. I wanted Brown muslin for my 62. vwdave found some large pieces for me..
Never found a code
I know vwdave found some from a local contact... ask him if he has some spare.
Kevin Jackson sourced some but found it very hard to find and was looking at an alternative.
